Go for oranges and light blues, if you get those early enough you win.

Light blues have the cheapest houses and can be used as an engine to fund others, if one person lands on them once you can basically insta-quad house or hotel them.

Oranges are the most efficient house to payment increase in the game, also people get sent to go and jail making them more likely to land on light blue and orange squares.

Once you're late game like this you may as well just end it because you're just delaying the inevitable.

Never buy hotels. 4 houses is the way

4 houses is only if you are trying to choke out your opponent, (since the total number of houses is intentionally limited)

Isn't that the point of the game?

Sure choking them out is the point of the game, but smart players will never let you get a 3rd property without trading for a 3rd of their own. Typically in that situation you'll want to prioritise getting the most money you can out of them so hotels can be worth it.

4 houses is usually the way, but sometimes hotels are fine.
